I had a little problem with trying to buy stuff from the zune marketplace. It doesn’t let me purchase and it has an unknown error so I googled a little and everything I clicked on had some sort of “zunes suck, get ipods” or “zunes are ugly and ipods are nicer.” I for one had an ipod nano at one point, then it broke but I got it for like $30 off of a friend, then I bought my 30gb zune off of another friend for $35 (yeah I’m lucky.) I liked both, although I liked the itunes a little more than the zune software. Zune software is nice if anything, but some things are hard to work on it.. namely the infamous songs deleting off your zune when you remove them from the zune library.
Maybe the main reason I’d take a zune is because everyone and their mom has some sort of ipod, and since I like to have some diversity in the world, it fit pretty well. I also liked the look.. something about it makes you go, “woah thats not an ipod is it?” but I got the “woah that’s fat!” with my 30 gig :/
I like that it has a more bigger screen than your normal ipod, plus you got the radio even if I don’t use it. The wireless thing is a gimmick imo since obviously not a lot of people have zunes so its hard to actually use it. The ipod will reign supreme since Apple is more of a multimedia based company compared to the Microsoft businessy feel. Another thing thats kind of lame is that the Zune doesn’t have a lot of 3rd party products, so your pretty much forced to buy their $30-40 wall charger if you need one, and the fact that not a lot of people have the Zune USB connecter makes it hard to charge it at a friends house.. but whatever it is, I <3 my Zune.
